9 Best At-Home Microdermabrasion Products

See which facial skin care products will give you soft, clearer skin and fewer wrinkles

Are you familiar with mircodermabrasion? Microdermabrasion uses physical exfoliation to help slough away the top layer of skin to give it a healthy glow and help increase cell turnover. Have you been to a spa or dermatologist's office for a microdermabrasion treatment? If so, you may have loved how each and every dead skin cell was removed, and noticed softer skin, fewer fine lines and even a reduction in acne.
What if we told you that you could get all of those same benefits of a spa or dermatologist's microdermabrasion treatment for way less money by using an at-home microdermabrasion product? It's totally possible! There are tons of kits, creams and scrubs out there that claim to do the job, but TotalBeauty.com readers have shared which ones really work.
Check out the list of the top nine microdermabrasion products according to TotalBeauty.com reviewers. Readers claim that all of these will give you smooth, soft skin, clear up acne and wrinkles, and won't cause any redness or irritation. We think it's time to toss that dermatologist's phone number (you won't need those treatments anymore) and head to your nearest beauty supply store.

Why it's great: This microdermabrasion serum is part of Mary Kay's two-step kit, but readers say it's good enough to stand on its own. "When I use it my face feels so soft and subtle and it's even smoothing out a little bit. I can definitely see and feel a change in my facial appearance. It is now No. 1 on my to-do list every day," one reviewer says. Another reader is impressed by how gentle it feels on the skin. "I love, love, love it! It is unscented, so there are no irritants and step two is very light, so you don't feel like you have a heavy lotion on."

I love the idea of no monthly tips and extra costs! Will check out Skinvac. Looked at some of the reviews of the other machines like NuBriliance but this one seems more promising and easy to use. I found a couple of YouTube how to videos on vacubrasion. Thanks for tip.

have you tried vacubrasion by skinVac? its an at home microdermabrasion using your home vacuum for professional self treatment, i found it on amazon. Type in SkinVac they have awesome reviews, I've been using it my self the results are instant. no crystals or chemicals, its painless and in just couple treatments my skin feels much cleaner and smoother and help with acne scars, spots, skin discoloration etc..

i can understand that they don't have the same results as an office treatment, BUT , not everyone can afford to go to an office & pay mega bucks , so we try to find something that does work that we can afford on our fixed income as we are on a BUDGET ! all help appreciated & THANKS
